The tale of a Barred Owl and the clever crow
We recently moved our American Crow to a mews next to our Barred Owl.
While I was cleaning the Barred Owl enclosure, I heard the familiar Barred Owl call two times. Our Barred Owl is very quiet except at night when no one is working (we’ve heard him many times when here for late events).
I looked in surprise at our Barred Owl but it was not him making the noise. I realized it was our crow imitating the Barred Owl! How smart is that!
